4.0 is on its way! Checkthis page﻿﻿﻿﻿ for bi-weekly video development updates,and consider joining the Ultimate Skyrim Beta Program﻿ if you can't wait!Visit the Ultimate Skyrim Subreddit & Discord﻿﻿ for tips and help!The Ultimate Skyrim ExperienceUltimate Skyrim is a modpack with 300+ mods, all built around the Requiem Roleplaying Overhaul. These mods work with my proprietary changes to transform Skyrim into an entirely new game. Stability & PerformanceHeavy modlists usually suffer from crashes, mod conflicts, game-breaking bugs, and poor framerates.Ultimate Skyrim solves these problems for an unbeatably smooth gameplay experience.Meaningful ChallengeIn Ultimate Skyrim, the world no longer revolves around the player. Combat is more dangerous,every resource is precious, and you must carefully consider every action — or pay the price.Venture outside the city walls at your own peril, and prepare well if you hope to survive.Build DiversityOverhauled skill trees, perks, races, and birthsigns provide diverse new options for character building.Specialized abilities make every character unique, and new mechanics allow for powerful hybrid builds.Characters can no longer master every skill, so think critically about your build, equipment, and tactics.Know your weaknesses and play to your strengths to stay alive!RoleplayingBe whoever you want to be, and experience the unique pros and cons of your choices.Your favorite roleplaying activities will actually affect your character's abilities and progression.Eat, sleep, and drink to keep your character at peak performance. Stay clean for useful bonuses.Study and meditate to acquire new skills. Research the arcane to unlock the secrets of magic.Devote yourself to the gods and wield divine power. Embrace the wild & become one with nature.Prowl the sewers as a street-wise thief, or live there as a bloodthirsty vampire who feeds by night.Worldbuilding & DetailThe world of Ultimate Skyrim is a living, breathing place. People react to events around themand keep their own schedules. Various factions move about the world with their own agendas.Guards carry the markers of their holds, and patrol their borders in search of poachers.Hand-placed items tell secret stories. Animals hunt, sleep, and tend to their young.Life goes on, whether or not you are there to see it.Rewarding ExplorationThere are tons of new and interesting items to find, and most every item has multiple uses.Loot can be sold, broken down, used in recipes, or harnessed for character advancement.Familiar locations hold new secrets and spoils. Ancient mysteries hide in Skyrim's depths,promising great power to those who can brave the dark (and what waits within).VisualsUltimate Skyrim's visuals resemble a modern game, thanks to the talent of the modding community.Experience improved textures, models, lighting, weathers, characters, environments, and animations,all hand-selected for visual consistency, performance, and to preserve the vanilla feel.Most visual mods are optional to accommodate users with less powerful hardware.Testimonials"This project is simply amazing. In all the time I've played Skyrim, I haven't had this kind of fun."- kur0_kam1"I've spent more time on US than I've spent on any other game for the last 7 years.This is a massive, hardcore survival experience you won't find in any other game.I'm amazed at how intricate and complex the game is now, and challenging!"- Heladan"I am VERY impressed with the performance and stability... the entire time it ran smooth, no glitching or hitches."- SliverDraconis"Ultimate Skyrim forces you to take Skyrim not as a theme-park built to accommodate you,but as a world that will murder you if you do not take it seriously. It really forces you toinhabit Bethesda's creation, and lets Bethesda's work shine more than their own version."- EveningRip"My Skyrim experience has never looked so good, been so fun, and ran so stably." - BarbecueHernandez"Totally changed my experience with Skyrim... I can't see myself going back from the challenge and beauty this overhaul gives me."- easyace1Video IntroductionThis video is significantly outdated, but offers a decent glimpse at Ultimate Skyrim in action:
